    I am working on customizing a theme to fit our website better and ran into a little glitch. I created a new EE template group and added the {exp:forum} to a index file so I could have the forum show up with our main site template.  Everything is working great, except there is a little line spacing issue I am having.  I am not sure if it is with the template group I created or if it is an actual forum theme issue.  I assume it is a problem with my template group. 

    Below are two links.  The first the forum in the main site template.  This is where I want the forum
    http://heartlandoutdoors.com/index.php/HOforum/

    This link is the forum all by itself.
    http://heartlandoutdoors.com/index.php/forums/

    Do you notice the line spacing is bigger on the first one.  That takes up a lot of room and I can’t get it to look like it does in the second link.  The only difference between the two is that the first one is ran thru a template group.  Below is the template group index file I created.  Go easy on me, just a rookie at this.
